Day 2 at Mirage Raceway.
Day was sunny and warm. No rain for the day. Sarah and I got there about 12:30 Jonah already had our tent popped up. I started with glueing tires for Zach.
Since I was locked into the A Main with 2 of my cars, I didn’t have to race them in the heat races. I didn’t run the first heat but ran the second just to make sure cars were turning and burning.
Midwest Modified- this was the one class I didn’t lock into since I didn’t finish the main on Friday. Did some troubleshooting on the car to see way it was dead in the water. Found out for some reason my ESC decalibrated. Once I recalibrated it was working fine. So car was twitchy throughout the day came to the Main and Jonah and I had battled all 50 laps for 3rd. I would get caught up with him and I would make a mistake. I am overdriving the car. Need to get smoother with it. Had a great race ended P4 in the A Main
13.5t Late Model- car was running good and gearing was working great. Started in P2 with Dylan R on my ass we raced hard but clean. I didn’t get the door closed in time and he took 2nd from me and I couldn’t get caught up to home so we finished P3. Overall this car is so fun to drive.
Midget- car was Good Friday, car coming into Saturday was not great but manageable. Car was getting loose out of the corners. Ended up P8. I am still trying to get this car to drive the way I want it too. Over had fun.
Sarah ran Saturdays race I. Her Mudboss and her Street Stock. Her Mudboss was doing really well. But we had a receiver fry on us and I didn’t have any back ups. Her street stock she is getting more consistent and comfortable driving it. She ended P7 in street stock. She had a lot of fun today
Overall this race weekend was long. Getting home both nights around 3:30. Had a great time. Have to thank Greg for having a very nice facility. And having a very fast track And the only high banking track in Nebraska. Now it’s coming into my busy season with work we will have to see how many races I can make before harvest. Might be getting cars ready for winter season.
